A Year in the Life of a Honeybee Colony

Today the bees' very existence is under threat, and what is needed is that we all take an interest in this extraordinary form of life and discover how we can help reverse its decline. Heidi Herrmann and Rachel Hanney will tell us about some of the extraordinary features of the life of bees, from the time of the "birth" of a new colony in spring through swarming, to the beautiful organisation of their nest, their work-sharing, their relationship to the world of blossom, over the seasons of the year. What do bees need to thrive, what is their message, how can we help?
